2 million square kilometers, Africa is inhabited by 1 million people. Africa has great cultural, ethnic, economic and physical diversity. And with that they contributed to the subdivisions that we are going to talk about here, that established Mediterranean Africa which is also known as Islamic or Northern Africa, and Sub-Saharan Africa which is below the Sahara desert.
Talking about Mediterranean Africa it is located in the north of the continent, above the Sahara desert and is composed of countries like Morocco, Libya, Egypt, Algeria and Tunisia. We still have Western Sahara. The nations that comprise Mediterranean Africa are bathed by the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea and still have physical, human characteristics similar to that of the nations of the Middle East, the climate is desert and the majority of the inhabitants are followers of Islam.
This portion of the continent has the best socioeconomic indexes on the continent. Agriculture is also developed in the vicinity of the Nile River. And it is also known as the Maghreb region or by others it is also known as white Africa, but the main sources of income in these countries are the production of oil, natural gas and in addition to several other ores such as phosphate, gold and copper.
One of the biggest references of oil, natural gas and Libya, and also tourism is fundamental for the area, since it is an important economic activity for the region, with emphasis on countries like Egypt and Morocco that receive several visitors annually. Speaking of Sub-Saharan Africa, it corresponds to 75% of the continent's population , it corresponds to all the area located to the south of the Sahara desert, with its population mostly black and with cultural diversity, Africa presents the religious plurality where Muslims, Christians meet , atheists, Jews and even beyond traditional African beliefs. With this, the different ethnic groups have their own form of expression, with songs, dances, a fact that contributes and a lot to the cultural richness of the African continent in general.
The richness of the subsoil below the Sahara desert is impressive and is the richest part of the continent, with gold, diamond, copper, iron, coffee mining , in short. It also has tourism as an essential point. We have natural parks when it can be done, safari, which is an important source of financial resources for African countries.
In Sub-Saharan Africa there is a large production of oil and natural gas, especially countries like Nigeria, Angola, South Africa, countries highlighted with their natural reserves, we can have Democratic Congo, Gabon, and also countries that have national parks highlighted we can have Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa.
